Your tour to Abu Simbel by plane begins at the Great Temple of Ramses II. Ramses the Great, who ruled Egypt for about 67 years (1279-1213 BC), built these two temples at Abu Simbel. It sits at the southern frontier of pharaonic Egypt and facing Nubia, Abu Simbel features his queen’s temple and his great temple. In 1813, Swiss traveler Johann Ludwig Burckhardt discovered the top part of the temple. It took Belzoni three years to remove the sand and gain entry. Finally, the stunning four statues of Ramses were seen in modern times.
Abu Simbel Great Temple honors Amun, Re-Horakhty, Ptah, and Ramses II as a god. The temple’s front features four colossal statues of Ramses, exemplifying ancient Egyptian art. Scholars frequently discuss the sun miracle at the temple, where, on February 22nd and October 22nd, the rays penetrate the sanctuary and illuminate all the statues on the wall except Ptah’s.
Your second stop of your tour to Abu Simbel by plane from Aswan is at the Temple of Nefertari. This temple is dedicated to Hathor and Nefertari as a goddess. Hathor’s main cult center is Dendera temple. The façade of the temple is adorned by six statues, two for Nefertari and four for Ramses II.
